The incredible sleep of the newly rescued………….
We do not know his name. We do not know anything about him. All we know is that he needed us, and we came.
Although today was a wet, miserable Sunday to us, was actually the brightest day this boy has had in a while.
His owner had passed away and he and his doggie sibling had been left all alone until council drove into outback QLD to get them. Sadly, they were only able to house them for a few days.
Despite being a 12 hour round trip, we were determined to find a way to go and get them and fortunately, the incredible local vet was able to board them for a couple of days and allow us to pick them up today.
At 4am this morning, the road trip was on. A mammoth, all day, mercy dash for 2 boys we knew nothing about.
One of our team drove through the awful weather, on dirt roads, and long, lonely stretches with no phone signal to bring them into our care.
Within minutes, this boy had left the back seat and made his way into the passenger seat. He finally felt safe to put his head down and allow the comfy dog bed to ease his weary body. He spent the next 6 hours snoozing, only waking when the Maccas drive through yielded chicken nuggets, which he took gently from his rescuers hand.
The boys have had no vet work done. They arrived covered in ticks, which they have now been treated for. They will be going to the vet, first thing tomorrow and we will know more about them then. For tonight, they are safe, they are warm, and they have full tummies.
Did we have to go and get them? Absolutely not, but we were all they had. Were they worth the road trip? 100% yes!
Welcome to KPR boys. Your future starts now ❤️
